Use of mobile Flash Cards in measurement devices and small automation systems
Different Flash Technologies Flash storage advantage / disadvantage Several types of Flash Cards Flash Card applications Conclusion Contents:
Different Flash Technologies:NOR=Code Memory NAND= Data Mass Storage
Different Flash Technologies Flash storage advantage / disadvantage Several types of Flash Cards Flash Card applications Conclusion Contents:
Flash storage advantage • Flash Memory: • solid state • small size • non volatile • low power • reliable • Flash Cards: • mobile • small form factor • standardized • interoperable • shock & temperature endurance • easy to use
Flash storage disadvantage • Flash Memory: • price / MByte • data retention • data transfer rate • limited erase cycles • access restrictions • Flash Cards: • „low“ capacity • 7 different formats
